Learn how to make your Quantum Grid server distribute data from MongoDB

After downloding the server:

  2. Click the "Configure Server" tab.
  3. Click on the Server Placement button.
  4. Select the folder where you unzipped the server.
  5. Click on the "Configure Server" button.

There are 3 important settings you need to change to make your server distribute data from MongoDB:

  1. "Type of data distributed" should be set to MongoDB.
  2. "MongoDB Collection Name" should be set to the name of the collection you want to extract data from.

Setting Type of data distributed to MongoDB makes the "MONGODB_URI" option pop up at the bottom of the page.

  1. "MONGODB_URI" should be set to your MongoDB connection string.
